The Untold Truth Of The Highwaymen

The kids may not be listening to The Highwayman today, but there was a time when this country supergroup topped the charts and ruled the airwaves. 4 titans of American country music – Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson – released 3 albums over 10 years: "Highwayman," "Highwayman 2," and "The Road Goes On Forever." By the time they joined forces, each member of this band had led a storied career, with multiple #1 hits, for decades. And yet, the Highwaymen had only one #1 hit as a group, and none of its members wrote it. This song was Jimmy Webb's "The Highwaymen", and it's from this tune that the band took its name. But the band's success didn't end with this early anthem. Here's the untold truth of the Highwaymen.
